CHAPTER SIX

They were married just over three weeks later in a simple and short ceremony in a Registrar's office in the town nearby. They could have been married in Welford, but Norrie had stipulated the town because she didn't want anyone from the Observer to know that she was marrying a man she'd told them she hated. For the same reason, she hadn't invited anyone she knew to the wedding, and as neither of them had any close relations they had to use two of the Registrar's clerks as witnesses.

At first Bruno had wanted to have a reception afterwards, but Norrie had persuaded him to wait until they were settled and then give a party to celebrate. He had agreed willingly enough, especially when she mentioned that Ben got sick with excitement for days before a party and they certainly wouldn't get any sleep the night after it. Ben, she found, could be used as a good excuse for getting her way in most things; she even used him to keep Bruno at arm's length during the three weeks leading up to the wedding by insisting that they couldn't make love at the cottage because the walls were so thin that Ben would hear and might be frightened. And when Bruno booked a hotel room the following weekend the baby-sitter had 'unfortunately' let her down at the last minute so that Norrie couldn't go to him. And after that it hadn't been too difficult to coax him into waiting until after the wedding. 'Think how much nicer it will be when we're relaxed and have plenty of time,' she'd whispered to him.

Bruno had groaned, but waiting had added an extra layer of spice to anticipation, and by promising him future total surrender she had managed to withhold it for the time being. But she hadn't been able to escape his love-making completely; as a promise of better things to come, she had several times had to let him pull her down on to his lap and return his kisses while he undid her blouse and bra and caressed her as much as he wanted. And it had been all too appallingly easy to lie in his arms and let his hands and lips work their erotic magic on her senses, only some small core of her mind retaining its hold on sanity and holding her back from pleading with him to take her now—now.

But somehow she had survived until the wedding, and they had been very busy of course; Bruno had brought in one of his employees to take over from him at the Welford Observer and oversee the introduction of the new editions, so that he would be free for the holiday-cum-honeymoon that he insisted they take. And Norrie had found plenty to do sorting out her own and Ben's belongings, deciding what she wanted to take with her and what to leave behind, only it was difficult when she wasn't sure how long they would be away.
